If you live on the Eastern part of the world, then you probably know Pah! An Israeli App that took Asia by storm. If you still don’t know Pah, try to look for it on YouTube and you’ll discover dozens of homemade videos of people screaming on their smartphones…Pah! It’s a voice controlled game in which Shouting = Shooting. By shouting ‘Pah!’ you can control a little blip-firing spaceship on the screen. ‘Paaaaahhhh’ moves the spaceship, and ‘Pah!’ fires the shooter.

Here’s a Demo by a viewer in Taiwan:

Think it’s the most ridiculous thing ever? Well, try to tell it to people in Taiwan,China and Singapore, where the game became viral in just few days. There wasn’t even a need to post an official video of the game online as there has been millions of views to videos people posted making fun of themselves. Apparently, piracy is a good thing cause with no marketing efforts what so ever, the game that was created within less than 48 hours became a wildfire in Asia after it was hacked (people managed to access the game without paying for downloading it).

But no need to worry, despite the fact that Israeli inventors didn’t make more than tens of thousand $ from the game, they still found a way to ride on the back of Pah’s success. They are now mentoring in conferences and seminars in Taiwan, China and Singapore sharing their experience of how to create a viral successful game within less than 48 hrs.
